Description Forgotten User EGKOvZW2-J 2009-06-08 21:00:05 UTC 
User-Agent:       Opera/9.64 (X11; Linux x86_64; U; en) Presto/2.1.1

Download some rpm file (which is not installed), click on it (in Dolphin, for example).
Yast appears and disappears, and... nothing.
Turns out the rpm is installed (as evidenced by rpm -q), but there absolutely NO feedback that this actually happened from any of the programs involved.
As a result, the user (rightfully) thinks that the installation has failed for some unknown reason.
A simple "The package "something" was installed successfully" would be highly desired.

The same happens with .src.rpm files, which should be clearly marked as such. In their case, something like "This is a source package, you probably need a binary package instead." would be nice.


Reproducible: Always
